Our Kindergarten Program
It is our intention that the best possible opportunities are offered to your child to challenge
and extend their learning, allowing your child to reach their full potential. Our goal, at all
stages, is to provide the necessary ingredients for success and the laying of foundations for
effective practices and knowledge for the future. These goals include the following:

      Development of a positive self esteem and an understanding of themselves.
      Participate as members of a group, learning such attributes as sharing and taking
       turns.
      Development of the ability to work independently.
      Learning how to initiate and interact positively with peers and adults.
      Development of effective communication including both listening and talking.

The content of the program will be developed from the children’s own needs and interests as
well as aligned to both the Department of Education’s Early Childhood Kindergarten
Curriculum Guidelines and the ‘Early Years Learning Framework for Australia’ (EYLF). Reports
on children’s progress will be sent home twice a year and a portfolio of the children’s work
will be available at Open Night and taken home at the end of the year.

We align our practice to the National Quality Standards Framework. This framework sets a
high, national benchmark for early childhood education across Australia.

Lake Gwelup Primary School staff utilise a range of screening and monitoring tools to
ascertain the needs of all learners. The Kindergarten staff are trained in administering the
‘Kindergarten Assessment Tool’ developed by the Statewide Speech and Language Service.
This training has enabled staff to complete valid and reliable assessment in regards to key
literacy developments in the early years. Kindergarten staff also utilise a literacy tracker to
assess phonological awareness development.

The Kindergarten Day
Kindergarten is a wonderland of painting and story time; of talking and listening; of exploring
the world; and of making new friends.

Your child begins to build on what they have learned at home. This includes their
understanding of language; that language is made up of words, that written words are made
up of letters in the alphabet and that spoken sounds can be written down. They also learn
about numbers and shapes and the many different ways we use maths in our lives every day.

These early lessons help your child later with reading, spelling, language and mathematics
skills. Your child’s teacher takes into account the many different experiences and
backgrounds of the children in the classroom to make sure the learning program helps each
child.

Children learn social skills by playing with other children and sharing equipment. Play allows
your child to share and take turns while developing coordination and confidence.

All of the above is vital to their future formal learning. While Kindergarten is
pre compulsory education, parents are encouraged to send their children to give them the
opportunity of actively engaging in the curriculum and becoming an important part of the
school community. The skills they learn give them the start they need to embark on their
educational journey and head towards their bright future.

Getting ready for Kindergarten
Here are some simple things you can do to help your child (and the rest of the family!) get
ready to start Kindergarten:

      Read stories with your child about starting school.
      Go past the school and talk to your child about how they will soon be going there, the
       exciting things they will do and the friends they will make.
      Go shopping together to buy a special lunch box and drink bottle and things they will
       need such as a school bag and uniform items.
      Practice opening and closing lunchbox and drink bottle and using the zips on the new
       school bag.
      Label all your child’s belongings with their name.
      Begin leaving your child for short periods of time at day care, grandparents or other
       family so your child is comfortable being away from you.
      Introduce yourself to other parents and become part of the school community.
      Organise play dates to help your child socialise with the other children in their class.
      Have a routine each morning as you and your child get ready to go to school.
      Make life easier for you and your child by buying clothing with large buttons or velcro
       that will allow them to dress themselves. Being able to get themselves ready will also
       be a confidence boost for your child.
      Once school starts, ensure your child gets enough rest. You will probably find that
       your child is tired. This is normal as they adjust to their busy days at Kindergarten,
       learning and playing.
      Provide your child nutritious meals and snacks to keep them energised through the
       day.
      Talk with your child about their day when they get home. Your enthusiasm is
       important for them to see and feel and will show them that school is important.
      Get to know your child’s teacher and don’t hesitate to talk to them about any issues
       you may have experienced. Give them feedback, both positive and negative.

Helping your child have a positive first experience of school is important because it can help
shape the way they think about school in the future.

Once school starts, be actively involved yourself. Children love it when their mum or dad
comes along to help with reading and other activities.

Your ongoing support will help them build strong foundations for success at school.

Reading books about starting school
Here is a list of books about starting school that you can read with your child.

Mom, It's My First Day of Kindergarten! by Hyewon Yum (Macmillan)

  Before I can learn to read and write I need to know…
      A book has words and pictures
      That the words are what is read
      That a book has a beginning, middle and end
      Books are enjoyable and I can learn so much from them
      How to learn to love books and to care for them
      How to hold a pencil or brush comfortably
      How to scribble then draw and paint shapes and pictures
      About letters and words
      That I will be encouraged for all of my efforts and attempts
      That I can have lots of practice, plenty of paper, paint and pencils

       Before I can learn Mathematics I need to know…
      The names of numbers
      How to count in the right order
      Match the number with the right amount of things
      Colours and shapes
      About size
      About sorting into sets

Other Helpful Ideas
Commencing school is an important step in your child’s school life. You can help your child
get the most from their Kindergarten and Pre Primary year in the following ways:

      Your attitude to school will influence your child’s attitude – make it positive. If you
       have any worries or doubts about the program or your child’s performance, please
       discuss them with your child’s teacher.
      Make sure your child attends school regularly and punctually.
      Encourage self-care skills (toileting, health, hygiene, etc.)
      Read to your child often. It is a good way to extend language and promote reading
       readiness.
      Show an interest in the activities your child engages in and ask questions about it.
       The ‘work’ your child brings home – whatever the end result or materials used –
       represents time and effort and indicates their level of development. Appropriate
       praise and interest will give your child confidence to venture further next time. Don’t
       presume because there is no ‘work’ to bring home that no work was done. Block
       building, sand/water play activities, puzzles, sorting/matching activities all have no
       end product to take home and after a cooking session, we eat the results!
      Please keep us informed by advising the school of new phone numbers, addresses,
       changes in family situations, illnesses etc. We need to know anything that will help
       your child to learn.
      Read all notes and notices regarding not only Kindergarten but also the school in
       general. The notices displayed on the class noticeboards are for your information.
       Please read them EACH day (they change). Details of specific parent and community
       engagement events and activities will be communicated via Connect School Space
       and your child’s class Connect page.
      Attend Parent and Citizens (P&C) Meetings. Decisions are made at these meetings
       by the parents who are present which affect your child and the school. If you want
       a say, you need to be there.

Our school administration team is available to discuss any policy matters with you. Our school
values the partnership that we have in educating your child and welcomes your enquiry.

What to Send
REMEMBER TO LABEL ALL ITEMS

      Booklist requirements are to be sent in on your child’s first day at Kindergarten.
      Consumable items such as pencils, only need to be labelled on the box as these will be
       shared.
      Recess food, for example: sultanas, a piece of fruit, cheese, capsicum, tomatoes,
       cucumber and apricots. Lake Gwelup Primary School is a ‘nut aware’ school, please
       do not include nuts or foods containing nuts.
      A healthy lunch for them packed in a lunch box.
      Water in a drink bottle, preferably with a push down spout.
      A reversible school hat is required from Week 1. You will be allocated a Faction so
       that you can purchase the correct colour.
      A change of clothes, suitable to the current season, should be kept in your child’s bag,
       in case of accidents.
      A large bag suitable for carrying their work, lunch box etc. Please add a name tag so
       your child can identify his / her bag.

ZERO WASTE LUNCHES
Help us save money to use on your child’s education instead of waste disposal. Please
organise your child’s lunch box, following the Zero Waste Lunch guidelines:
      Bring your food NUDE
      Bring your food in a CONTAINER
      COMPOST your food scraps
      REUSE a drink bottle.

Please provide ‘Nude Food!’ Waste management is expensive so ‘nude food’ means there is
no packaging in the lunch box.

It is necessary to continually communicate with your child so that they eat the food you
supply, with no wastage or rubbish.

Communicate weekly, as your child’s tastes will change. Instruct them to bring home in
their lunch box any unfinished items so you can review the situation.

Energetic, playful children often take two bites out of a large apple and then throw it away.
Discuss ‘small’ fruit selections with your child.

Lake Gwelup Primary School was the setting for a fantastic new education video to help
parents navigate packing healthy lunchboxes. The short, seven minute video has some
simple practical messages from the WA School Canteen Association Inc (WASCA) on how to
pack a healthy lunch box filled with tasty food and is a wonderful support tool for parents
entering the school system for the first time. The video can be viewed on the WASCA
YouTube channel and website.

                         Arrival and Departure
Kindergarten children attend a 5 day fortnight. The days of attendance depends on your
allocated class group.

The Kindergarten program commences at 8:50am and concludes at 3:00pm. The doors will
be open at 8:40am for a start time of 8:50am. It is best to arrive as close as possible to 8:50am.
It is very important that your child arrives and is collected on time. This will avoid any
unnecessary distress that your child may experience due to lateness.

For your child’s safety we ask that, when the doors are open, you bring your child inside the
class at the beginning of each session.

         Children must not be left unattended outside before or after the session.

In order to protect children from accidents, no child will be allowed to leave the Kindergarten
unaccompanied, or with a person other than their parent or carer, without written permission
from their parent/carer. The school will not release a Kindergarten child into the care of
his/her brother/sister without prior approval from Administration.

If your child is to be collected by another adult we require you to fill in the class sign in/out
book, signed by the parent/carer giving Kindergarten staff permission to release the child to
the designated person/s. If you need to remove your child from the classroom during normal
class time, please sign out at the school office before you collect your child.

The school perimeter gates are locked from 9:20am to 2:30pm daily.

OUTSIDE EQUIPMENT

For safety reasons, please do not allow your child/ children to play on the outside equipment
before sessions commence or after the session has ended.

The gate to the Early Childhood Education area of the school is locked at 3:15pm each
afternoon to enable the cleaners and gardener to maintain the outdoor area.

   NOTES
 1. Students only incur a cost when they are involved in a particular activity.
 2. The estimated amounts indicated for each year level (K-6) represent the maximum amount that a parent / carer should
    anticipate being charged for activities if the student were to participate in all activities likely to be planned for that year
    level.
 3. The amounts collected for charges vary from year level to year level depending on the nature and range of activities
    undertaken.
 4. The School’s preferred methods of payment are Qkr or EFTPOS. Parents have the option to pay their charges in the
    following ways:
    i Payment of charges may be made via Qkr App, EFTPOS, cash or by direct debit into the school bank account, Lake
        Gwelup PS, BSB 066 040, Acct Number 19904525 Please put your child’s name against the entry and email
        Julia.Lingard@education.wa.edu.au to advise of the bank deposit.
     ii Charges can be paid in advance, in full or part paid into your child’s billing account. As you give permission for your
        child to attend an activity, the cost of that activity will be withdrawn from their account by the Manager Corporate
        Services. Statements are sent home regularly or you can call or email for a balance update. The account can also be
        topped up throughout the year as needed. Where pre-payment is elected, funds remaining unspent at the end of the
        school year can be rolled over into your child’s account or a sibling's account for the following year; refunded or donated
        to the school.
 5. The costs detailed above are largely based on the amounts paid by parents and receipted by the school over the last
    several years.

Parent Help Roster
From Term 2, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are welcome to attend. Parents and
guardians play an important role in assisting the Kindergarten program. The Parent Roster is
displayed on the Parent Information Board for each class. We prefer that siblings do not
accompany adults when they are on roster. This allows you to share an experience solely with
your child. Please sign the Confidential Declaration form provided by your child’s teacher and
ensure you sign in at Administration before arriving at the classroom.

Please remember that we depend on your confidentiality for anything you hear or see when
in the classroom.

                      Behaviour Management
Lake Gwelup Primary School strongly supports the right of both students and staff to work
and learn in a safe environment without being impeded by disruptive behaviour. To support
this, our staff adopt a fair and consistent approach to eliminating disruptions to the learning
environment. Staff employ a range of preventative strategies which are age appropriate and
will reduce the likelihood of inappropriate behaviour occurring. The students will be involved
in the development of classroom and playground rules, standards of behaviour and
consequences of inappropriate behaviour.

                        Talking To Your School
Where appropriate, teachers should be your first point of call to discuss most issues
concerning your child’s learning at school. Often speaking promptly with the classroom
teacher greatly assists in working through any issue and a satisfactory outcome is achieved
for all. If you have any concerns during the year regarding your child we would appreciate if
these issues are relayed to your child's teacher or please email
lakegwelup.ps@education.wa.edu.au as soon as they arise. You will find that there is often a
simple solution. If you are in need of a more detailed discussion, please feel free to make an
appointment. Lake Gwelup Primary School has adopted CONNECT (the Department of
Education’s integrated online environment) as our key communication tool.

Records, Information and
                       Medical Requirements
Please advise the office and Kindergarten staff of any changes to addresses, phone numbers
and medical information, as we have found that in some situations when a child is unwell we
have been unable to contact parents.

Please notify staff if your child has any form of medical condition that may affect their
wellbeing. If so, a form will need to be filled in with the procedure that we need to follow in
case of an emergency. We are unable to administer any medication, until all necessary
paperwork has been completed. This is a Department of Education requirement. If
medication needs to be administered to your child this should be left with the Kindergarten
staff including written directions, with information from the doctor and the name of the
medication and dosage required.

The School Nurse will provide a health assessment for all children during their Kindergarten
year (hearing and vision) provided that the parents have filled in and signed the medical
information documents. This will be issued early in Term 1.

NB: All children from Pre Primary to Year 11 are eligible for free dental treatment. A dentist
from North Beach Dental Therapy Centre will visit when your child is in Pre Primary for a
routine check and then follow up appointments will be made as required.

Kindergarten children have access to the local Community Health Nurse for routine
developmental checks. Please be advised that your local Child Health Centre is located:

       Klein Street cnr Edmondson Crescent, Karrinyup

Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction and this is potentially life threatening.
This occurs after exposure to an allergen (e.g. peanuts, nut products and bee stings are most
common). In the interests of health and safety of all children, we encourage you to follow
the directions that the school and/or class teacher provides and support a ‘nut aware’
environment.

PEDICULOSIS (HeadLice/Nits)

Children with head lice are excluded from school. They are permitted to return following
treatment and when all lice/nits have been removed. All family members should be treated.
For more information on treatment please contact the School, Community Health Centre,
local pharmacy or visit www.health.wa.gov.au .

School Dress Code
The school expects every student to be in school uniform. Parents, staff and students support Lake
Gwelup Primary School’s Dress Code. A school’s Dress Code can play an important role in promoting
a positive image of the school and creating a sense of identity.

Enrolment at the school is on the understanding that Lake Gwelup Primary School’s Dress Code will
be adhered to.

During 2016 the Lake Gwelup Primary School Board approved an updating of our school uniform. The
new uniform was determined through extensive consultation with the school community including
students!

All uniform items are available to purchase from Lowes in Joondalup.

Hats
It is school policy that all children are to wear the reversible bucket hat for all organised physical
education activities and while playing outside at recess and lunchtime. This hat policy is fully
supported by the Cancer Foundation as an effective means of protecting students from the harmful
effects of over exposure to UV rays. We have a ‘no hat no play’ policy throughout the year.
Hair
Students must ensure that their hair does not create a health or safety risk. Regardless of gender,
students with long hair are required to tie their hair back. Long hair must be ‘tied back’ as a
preventative measure in avoiding/containing the spread of head lice (nits). Hair ties and headbands
must be plain and flat (no embellishments). No brightly coloured hair dye to be used, except on sports
days and assembly items.
Jewellery
Children who have their ears pierced are required to wear only sleepers or studs whilst at school.
Facial piercings are not permitted at school.
Cosmetics
The wearing of cosmetics is not permitted. This includes the displaying of temporary tattoos.
Special Groups
Cultural dress can be incorporated into Lake Gwelup Primary School’s Dress Code by negotiation with
the Principal.
Footwear
Students are required to wear sensible, closed in footwear to school, or sandals with back straps.

PRE LOVED UNIFORM SHOP

The Pre Loved Uniform Shop is open weekly on Thursdays, 8:20am – 8:40am in the
undercover area store room.
For enquiries contact the school office. All items cost $5 payable by cash.

General Business
PERSONAL ITEMS
Please do not allow your child to bring their toys, jewellery or other personal items to
Kindergarten. This will avoid the children becoming upset when things are lost or broken.

BIRTHDAYS
On your child’s birthday you are welcome to send along small cakes. Please consider the
school policy in regards to ‘nut aware’ when preparing birthday cakes. Handing out birthday
invitations (especially in front of children not invited) can be upsetting to both children and
parents. Please forward invitations to your child’s teacher to arrange the best manner to
hand out party invitations.

ABSENCES
If your child is absent from school we require notification (either verbal, written or by phone).
Alternatively, an SMS to 0408 910 865 including your child’s name, the reason for absence
and the date can be sent to notify the school of student absences. Please contact the school
by 9:30am and notify administration of your child’s absence for the day which will be entered
onto the school roll to inform the class teacher. Where a child has not arrived at their
classroom prior to the teacher marking the morning roll, the child will marked as Late and an
SMS communication will be sent advising that child’s parent. Parents are informed by mobile
phone SMS each time their child is absent when an explanation has not already been provided
to the school.

Parents or carers taking their children out of school prior to the end of the school day are
required to go to the school office to sign out prior to collecting their child.

Department of Education policy requires parents to request time off for family vacations from
the school Principal. This can be done in person or in writing.

TELEPHONE
When telephoning the centre, please try to make it before 8:40am as teaching teams are
conducting programs and are often unable to attend to calls. The telephone is unlikely to be
attended during the lunch hour due to the supervision of the children.
